His greatest exploit was at the expense
OF famous st. Louis belle, who has been
dazzling the eyes of society here. One day
the young man met the belle OH the street
and playfully grabbed her pocketbook. She
didn't mind this much. but when he opened

TO wonder whether it was all joke OF not.
She ordered him to return it at once, but to
her surprise the senatorial hopeful replied
that he would see her later Perhaps he
will, but he hasn't yet. The fellow, after
securing the money, called upon a young
lady who was a friend of the st. Louis
belle and invited her out to dine with him.
Not knowing, of course, the preceding
facts she accepted, and had a good dinner.
Shortly after this episode the town began to

The End of The Opera Hat.
Furnishing Goods Trade Review.

FURNISHING GOodS TRADE review.
All attempts to resuscitate the crush
otherwise known as opera hat--from the
oblivion into which it has been cast by the
beau monde, have proved futile. The de.
cadence OF this style of chapeau is due to
something more than a mere within or a
sudden caprice of fashion. The crush had
its advantages. There is no disputing its
convenience and economy but the springs
had an unfortunate procllvity for striking
that is, getting out of order and refusing
to work without giving due notice.
Again. the constant opening and shutting
of the hat wore imperceptbiy upon the
material, and the cloth would give way
quite unexpectedly. Thus gentleman
would find his ''opera" very lame affair
at the end of the evening, when at the be-
ginning it looked fresh and bright Even
when made of the best material by the best
halter the crush hat never had the stylish
appearance of good silk hat, nor did it
ever fits well.
Add to these facts that certain class of
people, who are very Objectionable to the
Enlightened" club men, began wearing
crush hats in the street in the daytime. also
that the style was made up by CHEAP hat
ters. thereby becoming common, and the
cause of the death of the crush hat as an
article of fashionable wearing apparel is
made clear.

A Veritabse Farmers Legislature
Chicago Herald.

There are over fifty farmers in the Thirty
fifth general assembly, and they flock to-
gether as if they were distinct nationality.
Organized as a club. they meet two or
three times a week and make the walls of
the old Memorial hall ring with the elo-
quence Of husbandry. They are not those
stupid, overwOrked, underfed farmers that
are sometimes pictured in the perverted
imagination Of city folks. But they are
jolly, intelligent. whole souled. joke-mak-
ing people, upon whom it must be admitted
that farming has not wrought many evils.
They are not those sort of hOrny-handed.
uncouth, untidy people with cattle odored
garments and mud-stained brogans, but
modern grangers, with neatly trimmed
whiskers, carefully trained moustaches.
soft, white, supple hands. sharp, twink
ling, roguish eyes that often wander into
the galleries among the ladies.
The farmers of the assembly are enthusi-
astic patrons of the theater and all social
entertainments available at the capital.
Most of them reside at boarding houses.
where they have shown keen appreciation
OF female society. Indeed. these boarding
house landladieS are having decided pic
mic this winter attending the theatre.

members-that is, such OF them as are not
accompanied by their wives. One of them

the victim OF a practical joke. He re-

town containing the following adapted par
ody:
Husband, dear husband, come home to me
now,
From Springfield, so cosy and warm;
It's lonely without you; why do you not
come
And see to things on the farm?
You told me when you were elected last fall
If would but once let you go,
You surely would come ere the winter was
gone;
OF course L believed it was so.
Husband, dear husband, come Ihome to me
now,
I'm shifting the edor of spring;
You've stayed long enough In the capital
there-
You're much safer under my wing.
The old horse is paving the stable like mad.
The colts in a terrible stew;
The small brinde heifer has got white calf
And the cattle are bawling for YOU
Husband. dear husband, come home to me
now,
I'd like to observe what you're at;
When will you get through with your bills
and resolves,
And speeches by this one and that?
Your mileage is paid by the longest way
round,
But take the short cut when you come
Your speeches are fine tweede-dee, but some
way
They don't hide your tweedle-dee-duul.
The voice of your Betsy is calling you dear;
It's nearly the time to make soap;
And some OF the women are saying, my love,
I'm giving you quite too much rope.
They say there is desperate flirting up there,
With widows and maids not few,
I haven't been kissed since the morning you
left,
But, Joseph, how is it with you?
Come home Come home!
You hear me, yon rascal? Come homei

A POLITICAL FAHuRE.

1t is perfectly apparent that the Repub-
lican leaders intent to make high license
political issue and to commit the Republican
party in favor of it. And yet to great
many Republicans it is mystery why the
leaders should desire to drive the party upon
rocks which so surely threaten it's destruc-
ton. Still they are doing it, and when the
causes are investigated we find that it is
HoBsoN's choice with the Republicans.
There is nothing else for them to do, except
to go over bag and baggage into the camp
of the Prohibltionists, which would be a
virtual disqualification of the Republican
party. The rank and file of the Republican
party deride ST. JOHN and his crank fol-
lowers. as they are denominated, yet the
Republican leaders are shrewd enough to
see that without the aid of ST. JOHN and
his ''crank followers" the Republican party
is hopelessly lost. The Republican leaders
do not propose to be Inundated by allowing
the dog to be wagged by the tail. OF in

Migration of an Entire Village.
London TELEGRAPH.

There is charming Arcadian village
called La Tour. situated near Privas, in the
southern department of Ardeche, which
has become uninhabitable, owing to the
number Of crimes that have been COM
mitted therein of late. A short time ago a
widow named Roche was murdered there
by her nephew and niece after she had made
her will i'll their favor, and on March two
small farmers quaTeled with each other
over small strip of ground which each
claims as his own. The dispute was ad-
justed by one of the improvised litigants
kicking the viscera out of his antagonist
and leaving him for dead on the field.
The inhabitants of La Tour terrified at
the epidemic of crime which had swept
over their once peaceful hamlet have left
their homes in body and migrated to less

HOW MALAKorr WAS TAKEN.
Diplomatic spying-The Story Of q
Dispatch That Brought $4,000.

Paris Letter to London Truth.
Diplomatic espionage rendered a great
service to the second empire in 1855 by en-
abling the French to get into Sebastopol.
The credit for the fall of that stronghold
was due, it has just transpired, to the late
M. Gle Moustier, who was in the year above
mentioned at the head of the French en-
Dassy at Berlin. At that time Col. Won
NJ was military attache OF Prussia at
81. petersburg, and in high favor at court.
The wife of the Car Nicholas was
princess OF Prussia, and was fondly attached
10 ner native land. All the representatives
OIL her brother were treated by her with
Rihdhess Vergng on familiarity. The coun-
CHS Oh war, when the siege of Sebastopol
was gong on, used to be held in her sitting
room. COl. Won Munster was given the

tioD SO obtained to Berlin for the kings
sole perusal. Frederick William kept them
secret from every one but Gerlach-a kind
Oh seer belonging to the feudal party, who
regarded Manteuffel as as apostate because
he advised the king to keep on good
terms with Napoleon ILL.,, and who
discovered, when Queen Victoria
went OH visit to ST. Cloud that she was

teuffel was furiously jealous of the royal
favor in which Gerlach Stood and took
means to intercept the Munster correspond
ence SO as to read it and have it copied.
In one of these letters there was dispatch
from Todleben informing the car of the
weakness of the MalakOff, which could not
hold out against a strong assault. Now,
ManteuffePs copying clerk was in the pay
OF De Moustier, and, when they were think
ing at the Tuileries Of ordering the siege of
Sebastopol to be raised, copy of Todle-
pens dispatch was sold to the
French embassy for 10000 francs.
Orders were sent to Pelisser to attack the
Malakoff. He, not wanting TO be pestered
by his incompetent emperor and the gang
about him with military Instructions or
dered the telegraphic wires to be cut.
Marshal Valiant was then packed off to
the trlInea with the secret paper in his
pocket. 1t was a revelation to Pelisser,
and all that remained was to get the En-
gllsh to attack the Redan. while the French
were trying to storm the Malakoff. The
general won ducal title Il big grant of
money and pension, and became such an
important parsonage that the empress gave
to him the hand of her beautiful cousin.

PAS ANSWER TO HIS SON.

My son, this bill. called interstate,
Is only Just scare.
Twas passed to please the working folks,
Who always pay their fare.
The senate millionaires, who boss
Old Uncle Samuel's farm;
They passed the interstate commerce bill
The laborers' vote to charm.
It's but waste of printers ink,
It's only make believes;
A new monopolistic dodge,
The grangers to deceive.
You don't suppose the railroad men,
Who make the legislators,
Would have Il law that hurt themselves?
No. boy! It's not their natures.
/ hope you see the point, my son,
This interstate commerce bill,
Creates some brand new Offices
For hungry men to I'LL.
And when the 5th of April comes,
You need not be afraid,
They'll pass again who passed before,
They'll pay again who paid.
And when again your pa goes East,
Or any other where,
Some servile use OF printers ink
Again will pay his fare.

There is some wondering why The amend

supplement. There were several passed, and
among them was one submitting to the people
the question of annual sess ions of the legis-
lature and the extension of the present
biennial system to ninety days. Whatever
became Of them is not known at this dis
lance from the state capital. Perhaps our
great governor killed them, or maybe the
secretary Of state in spirit of gratitude at
having his salary raised, in the interest of
economy withheld them from publication
Maybe they went to look after Goodrich's tax
redemption notice measure in the waste
basket and never found their way back.

How unanimously not to do it was en-
phatically illustrated in the legislative record
regarding the oil inspectors fees. 1T was
passed with a hurrah early in the day, sit
being supposed to be a bill abolishing the in
spectorship or reducing the fees. For aught
we can say to the contrary every member of
both houses voted for tit and yet Oil In
spector Willis takes in the same outra geous
fees as did Capt. Castle. This is the mode of
operation-one bill passed the house-a bill
little different passed the senate. All
who wished are on record as voting for abol-
ishing the Office but the bills failed to connect
and no complete action was taken. 1t is
